Together, That's All, Anna Gavalda

The story takes place in Paris, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower to be exact, and spans a year. This book tells the story of the encounter, then the friction, tenderness, friendship, outbursts, reconciliations and everything else that happens between four people living under the same roof. Four people who initially had nothing in common and who should never have met. A stuttering aristocrat, an exhausted young woman, a stubborn old granny, and a crude cook. All are bruised, battered, and all have hearts as big as that (no, even bigger!)... It's the reverse domino theory. These four lean on each other, but instead of knocking each other down, they lift each other up. That's what we call love.
